CHEF HAN’S KITCHEN JOURNAL • Z&Y PEKING DUCK
Let’s be honest—we know the real San Francisco summer is just getting started. As the fog rolls back and those golden, late-summer evenings drape over the city, there is no better time to elevate your after-work ritual or weekend escape.
Here at Z&Y Peking Duck, we are embracing the season’s lingering warmth with a vibrant new approach to our beverage program. Our expert mixologist, Mateo, has spent the season experimenting with premium spirits and authentic, fruit-forward Asian botanicals to craft something truly special.
“I wanted to capture the essence of a warm SF evening,” Mateo explains. “These aren’t just drinks; they are sensory escapes that perfectly complement the bold, rich flavors coming out of our kitchen.”
Whether you’re stepping off the bustling streets of Chinatown or crossing the bridge for a sophisticated night out, Mateo and our team invite you to cool down with our exclusive Soju and Zero-Proof Refreshers.
